Heavy-Lift Cinema Drones

Heavy-Lift Cinema Drones

When the shot needs the A-camera in the air, our Freefly Alta X lifts it — the Alexa Mini LF, RED Monstro and Komodo among the bodies it flies on a Movi Pro gimbal.

Heavy-lift is what lets us put the same camera and glass your production is already shooting on into the sky. The Freefly Alta X on a Freefly Movi Pro gimbal is our workhorse lifter — stable, powerful and cinema-ready.

It carries the Alexa Mini LF, Alexa Mini, RED Monstro, Gemini, Helium and Komodo, with almost any prime or lightweight zoom on the front. For extended-endurance passes we can fly the lighter Sony A7SIII instead.

Your camera, your lenses, in the air

There's no compromise on the image: aerial plates match the ground footage because they're shot on the same sensor and glass. Whatever fits the Movi Pro gimbal, we can fly — and we'll talk through the exact payload for your shoot in advance.

Establishers, action and plates

From sweeping establishers and reveals to fast action and clean plates for compositing, the heavy-lift platform delivers cinema-grade motion in the sky, flown to the DP's frame and matched to the ground unit's eyeline, speed and timing.
